// A patchList is a list of instruction pointers that need to be filled in (patched).
// Because the pointers haven't been filled in yet, we can reuse their storage
// to hold the list. It's kind of sleazy, but works well in practice.
// See http://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html for inspiration.
//
// These aren't really pointers: they're integers, so we can reinterpret them
// this way without using package unsafe. A value l denotes
// p.inst[l>>1].Out (l&1==0) or .Arg (l&1==1).
// l == 0 denotes the empty list, okay because we start every program
// with a fail instruction, so we'll never want to point at its output link.
